Chapter 343 Passing the Examination
My eldest sister had written to him before to discuss this, and she didn't really recommend that he take the exam so early.
After all, he is too young, and if he passes the exam, he will easily be envied.
Of course, my eldest sister also said in the letter that this was just her suggestion.
As for whether to take the exam or not, the key lies in himself.
No matter what decision I make, my elder sister will support me.
He thought about it for a long time before deciding that he wanted to take the exam.
Even if he could not become an official after passing the imperial examination due to his young age, he could still do what he liked at that time.
But he didn't expect that the examination for the position of Tongsheng would be much easier than he thought.
Moreover, he ranked relatively high in this examination for the position of Tongsheng.
Yu Menglong was also very happy about this.
He was planning to share this story with his elder sister when he arrived at the border, so that she could be happy too.
"Second sister, do you think Jin'er, Hong'er, and Sisi will dislike what I've done?"
Yu Menglong asked as he looked at the toy in his hand, which he had spent a long time making.
It would have been better if he didn't ask this question. Once he asked, Yu Mengruo felt embarrassed.
In her opinion, her gift might not be as good as her younger brother's?
At least my brother's toys are toys that boys like, but mine look like those for girls' homes.
What's more, my eldest sister once said in a letter that Sisi's temperament is just like a boy, which gives her the most headaches.
Seeing his second sister looking worriedly at her gift, Yu Menglong, as her younger brother, naturally knew what she was thinking.
"Second sister, you don't have to worry. I believe they will like it after watching it."
"really?"
"Of course it's true, but I don't know..."
"Oh, let's not think about it. They will all like it. They will all like it." Yu Mengruo said quickly.
After saying this, the brother and sister smiled at each other, their eyes full of smiles for each other.
They also brought a few guards with them when they went out this time.
Although they knew some self-defense skills, the journey to the northwest was long.
They are not very old, so it would be safer if they brought some guards who knew martial arts.
The housekeeper in the mansion also diligently arranged five guards for them.
So, they simply packed up and set off.
On the other hand, after receiving the news, Jing Hezi immediately went back to arrange for Chu Xibin to set off.
"Are you sure, Your Majesty, that you want to send your subordinates there?" Chu Xibin asked again.
This journey will not take ten days or half a month.
In Chu Xibin's eyes, the Great Xia Kingdom might attack at any time.
Once I leave, there will be no one to protect the king.
Moreover, the expedition was imminent, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity again.
"This is an extremely important mission. I'm worried about other people going. This is the best leverage we have over Yu Mengqing. You're the only one I can use right now."
Jing Hezi said earnestly.
He naturally knew what Chu Xibin was thinking.
He has no other special abilities, but he is very good at calming people down.
Of course, he also trusts Chu Xibin.
Now, he is the only person around him who is trustworthy and capable.
Naturally, he also thought about what Chu Xibin was worried about.
However, compared to capturing the brother and sister to control Yu Mengqing, Jing Hezi was less worried that Yu Mengqing would suddenly attack their Manjing Kingdom.
You know, fighting a war requires some preparation in the early stages.
What's more, he never replied to Yu Mengqing, and didn't tell her whether she agreed or not.
The letter Yu Mengqing gave him at that time was to ask him to agree to be a vassal state of their Great Xia Kingdom, and he only needed to pay them designated tribute items every year.
If she agrees, she will not attack, thus avoiding a head-on conflict.
Reduce bloodshed once.
Of course, he can also object, and then he will have to bear the consequences himself.
The consequence he had to bear was that the entire Manjing Kingdom would be buried with him.
When he saw the contents of the letter, he was so angry that he tore up the letter on the spot.
Now that I think about it, I could write a letter back to Yu Mengqing to calm her down first.
To gain more time for Chu Xibin and for himself.
At the very least, during the time he was considering, Yu Mengqing would not suddenly attack.
Otherwise, without Chu Xibin, he would be in more danger.
Even with Jing Keqing around, he still didn't feel at ease.
Two people must be present at the same time to be safer.
Jing Keqing was not there at the moment, otherwise, he would have made fun of him again.
However, it must be said that Jing Hezi's move was indeed a brilliant one.
The military camp of the Great Xia Kingdom.
At this time, Yu Mengqing had also received the letter from Yu Menglong.
"What's going on? What are Menglong and the others talking about?" Chu Shiheng asked curiously.
He had not had much contact with the two siblings when they were in Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Of course, even if they had never met, Chu Shiheng knew that Yu Mengqing always kept them in her heart.
They can be said to be the few relatives Yu Mengqing has in this world.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Mengqing arranged for the two siblings to live in Prince Zhan's mansion after she led her army to war.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen into decline. If they are allowed to live there again, they will obviously be bullied.
But living in Prince Zhan’s Mansion is different, because Prince Zhan’s Mansion is not supported by only oneself.
Even Yu Mengqing herself was sealed in and Yu Mengqing went to war.
With her reputation, it would not be difficult for the two siblings to live safely in Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Looking at Yu Mengqing's expression, she looked very happy with a smile on her face. It seemed that something good must have happened.
"Yes, Menglong passed the examination for Tongsheng." Looking at the letter in her hand, Yu Mengqing responded casually.
But the further he looked, the more solemn his expression became.
"Oh? There is such a good thing? Menglong is less than ten years old, right?" Chu Shiheng asked.
There are only a few ten-year-old students in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
Only after saying this did Chu Shiheng realize that Yu Mengqing's expression was not right.
So he hurriedly asked nervously: "Did something happen?"
